Someday

Writing keeps me hoping for a better future...


Someday

One day, some day, we’ll all awake
And somehow know just what it takes
To make the whole world right once more
And we’ll all run right out the door
To shout the news out loud and clear
For everyone everywhere to hear...
And we’ll all shout in perfect sync
Billions of souls, a single link
A chorusing of reason clear
That fills the whole world’s atmosphere
A vision shared, pristine and pure
A knowledge new to man, and sure

And on that day the doves will soar
There’ll be no suffering anymore
And everyone will sing and shout
And on that day, or thereabout
There’ll be an end to war and spite
And everything will be alright
There’ll be an end to lies and greed
And finally we’ll all be freed
There’ll be an end to hate and fear
There’ll be an end to death...
But until that day
I wouldn’t hold my breath

What a great 1,000th DU post!

It would be nice if more people on DU realized that one thing we definitely have that the bad guys want is creativity.

I'd love it if more and more creative people here were able to share their politically and socially relevant work without being accused of "plugging themselves" or simply ignored outright.

What is it with us, anyway? We ooh and ahh about all sorts of MSM-blessed artists who we feel represent our views, but look upon each others' work with... with what? Suspicion? Envy? What word am I looking for?

Have we been so thoroughly assimilated that we can enjoy only the work of artists who have been "approved" by the very people we wish to remove from power?

Thanx, DK!
Yeah, not a very auspicious 1000th, huh?
If I ever really wanna piss people off, I just share my poetry!
Yeah... Fuck it. Don't know why I bother.
